Fate, luck and separation 

What separates me from the voice that cries

For a spare bite of my food?

 

What separates me from the haggard hand

Trying to appeal to my inner good?

 

What fate is it that led me here

Instead of a crumbly home on the street?

 

What luck was it that made me, ME

Instead of someone else living in defeat?

 

Shouldn’t these be the questions I ask

On days of frustration like these?

 

Shouldn’t these be my ever reminders

Of countless blessings that do not cease

 

It’s not that I’m not grateful,

Quite the opposite, it is in fact

 

But my daily struggle remains empathy

How much to care, how much to pull back

 

What if, I gently tell myself

I use my empathy to be kind

 

Because nothing much separates me

From the sick, the hungry, the blind

 

This awareness is now deep
